US DOT-OSDBU: Spelman College Interns Graduate from Pilot Program

May 21, 2010 - OSDBU is pleased to announce that thirteen participants in DOT’s inaugural Entrepreneurial Training and Technical Assistance Women and Girls Program intern class have graduated from Spelman College. Four of these graduates will begin working in transportation positions this summer. They will be employed with the Federal Aviation Administration, Metropolitan Atlanta Rapid Transit Authority  (MARTA), and private transportation-related businesses.

“We are very happy to see such extraordinary young women grow and thrive in this program. These interns will entice more of the nation’s young women to enter into transportation-related careers and play a major role in the transportation infrastructure industry. Many thanks go to Spelman’s exceptional staff for their hard work, and to the graduates for making this first intern class so successful,” remarked Brandon Neal, OSDBU Director.

The Pilot Entrepreneurial Training and Technical Assistance Women and Girls Program was created to encourage girls to pursue careers in science, engineering, and technology and help women in the field to achieve their goals. This program provides internships and mentoring for young women as well as entrepreneurial training for female small business owners. This program is part of a broader effort, led by the White House Council on Women and Girls, to ensure that federal programs and policies take into account the distinct needs and concerns of women and girls.
